Birthing-friendly hospitals in Texas

Birthing-friendly hospitals › Texas

Texas has 201 birthing-friendly hospitals. 200 of them have an emergency department. Across those that report it, the median emergency department visit lasts 2 hr 38 min.

The birthing-friendly designation marks hospitals that have attested to taking part in a maternity care quality improvement programme and to implementing recommended patient safety practices. It reflects participation in those programmes rather than a measured birth outcome, so treat it as one signal among several when choosing where to give birth.
